uh fight with new weapons that that are very capable and will be able to solve a multitude of problems uh i know that there have been some naval architects and i want to say from some big ten schools maybe michigan comes to mind but what they're looking at is a unit sail away price on these vessels for somewhere between four and four and a half billion dollars

And the way that I really am enamored with the president's vision is we're going to lay it out and we're not going to change it 10,000 times.

We're not going to send it to some smaller shipyard that has never built a ship of this nature before.

So we'll probably be laser focused on Huntington Ingalls, General Dynamics, maybe Bath Ironworks.

But I think that we're thinking all of the right strategies to prevent issues in the Gulf of Hormuz or Taiwan Straits, some of those locales.

This is going to be a game changer for our Navy.

I just hope that we can get this moving along smartly so that it doesn't lose its energy at the end of his present term.

Well, you know, I'm not going to disabuse the notion that maybe we have too many four stars and, you know, they do sort of bump into each other in the field.

I'm reluctant to suggest, you know, what should be reduced from a four or three star job.

But it gets crowded in all of the combatant command staffs.

A number of years ago, we took out the Joint Forces Command.

It used to be the United States Atlantic Command, and it became Joint Forces Command.

And we sort of, other than a couple of functions, we sort of stood that down.

And I don't think anybody missed a thing.

And I served in UCOM, CENTCOM,

I haven't – about the only one was South and Northcom I haven't served, but I've been a part of staffs and all these locales, and I don't – I'm scratching my head wondering why that's a bad thing to do, honestly.

Yeah, where will it come from?

I honestly don't know, but I will say that probably in reality, it'll be a reallocation.

When I was the commander of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, whenever we would get these pay raises,

You know, they sounded great on paper.
